Canned Salmon Rejections and Packout to Packers in 1918
Details show the army rejected about 5 000 cases of canned salmon for failing to meet government standards and these batches were resold to packers at cost. By July 26 546 000 cases were returned to packers on their orders. Inspectors at delivery points could not determine which cans were fit for consumption. The standard allowed not over 5 percent bad cans. Officials examined many brands finding most contained over 5 percent bad salmon. some brands fell below but open inspection was needed to separate good from bad. A conference of packers followed with the Pacific Coast Packers Association and smaller firms seeking explanations, with large Alaskan packers blaming heat spoilage en route to canneries. Smaller packers argued they should participate as arrangements moved to return the goods.
